Roland Foods Extra Large Snail Shells, Specialty Imported Food, 36 Count Bag

These are beautiful shells and you get quite a good bunch. I bought as a gift with canned escargot and the stoneware plates as well. It made a lovely gift.

Great shells. All of them usable and unbroken although a few extras for that (unbroken) were included free. Very clean.

Arrived clean and in good condition. Only a few had cracks or holes, but overall they were whole and in good shape. As many other purchasers, these were bought for keeping shell-dwellers in an aquarium. Unfortunately that plan hasn't come to fruition as of yet, so I can't speak on that matter, however this product is known to be the go-to for such a use and that's why this product/brand was selected.

My Neolamprologus multifasciatus took to these as soon as I added them to the tank. I put the shells in before lights out, and in the morning, the fish had ALL VANISHED... into the shells! They had moved in right away and have been making little adjustments daily to their shell village. Perfect size for your shellies to use.Before adding to tank, rinse them, and then and rotate each shell slowly in all directions several times under the aquarium water to get all bubbles out of the central depth so they won't wobble and float around.

I want to start off by saying I did not buy these for culinary reasons, I bought them for my shell dwelling cichlids. With that out of the way, the shells are perfect for my shell dwellers and are exactly as they claim, extra large! From a culinary stand point ( and I guess technically me as well since I like looking at my fish ... duh ) the shells are visually nice but some of them have deep scratches, chipped pieces ( but surprisingly nothing large just minor edge chips ) so that might be a minus for some people. In terms of value it’s very good! Usually shells are very expensive because they’re for fancy food making making it very hard for fish keepers to get their hands on and $16-17 for 36 shells is a bargain! In terms of packaging ... their are definitely improvements to be made. The actual bag they come in is fine but the ENTIRE bag and all the shells are covered in this gross “grimy?” / at the same time starchy layer, definitely not ideal for cooks and tank people alike since it’s takes a lot of work to clean every shell. Another problem average is 36 shells ... I got 32, still a great deal but would have liked the specified amount not to be so far from what I actually got. Overall it’s a strong 4/5 stars.

Great value! Great looking shells! All arrived fully intact. Appeared quite clean but I still rinsed them, boiled them for about 30 mins, let cool, and gave another rinse (all with dechlorinated water, of course). This pack has plenty of shells to start my Neolamprologus multifasciatus colony.WOULD recommend for other cichlid keepers!

Finally! Quality shells. Not one of the 36 were broken, and they are a little thicker, so no holes for butter to leak out of. Some other venders are selling thin broken shells(out of 24 shells, 10 were usable for escargot.) This vender/brand all 36 shells are usable. Thank you.

My wife requested escargot for her recent milestone birthday. I have never made it before but after a little research it seemed easy enough (I love cooking). I made them two ways including in the shell, for which this product served its purpose beautifully.I rinsed them inside and out, rotating them to make sure water got in and out as far as possible. I then placed them in a mini cupcake tin on the stove top with the oven on (preheating for another dish). This drove off most of the internal water but I rotated the shells a few times to make sure. You can also then dry them out in the oven at a lower temperature (200 Fahrenheit or less).To clean for reuse, you can do a few rinses with vinegar water mix to remove any butter/residue. Then dry as described above. Easy enough to toss if you're not concerned with that.
